That's not entirely correct anymore because WFS3 provides a very
simple browsable website, see
https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/server/services.html#wfs3-ogc-api-features

You could easily override the default HTML templates to show your WMS
layers too, no need to rebuild or compile anything.

Cheers
